autonomy plays a crucial role in the enhancement of important learning qualities in the learners. in that line of thinking, this study was launched to discover how english language learners exposed to an autonomously managed versus teacher controlled conditions would respond to the learning determinants. two classes of english language learners at isfahan university of technology, iran were thu...

At present, MOOCs are rapidly emerging throughout the country which bring great challenges as well opportunities to foreign language teaching. Foreign learners can learn better through MOOCs. However, teaching effect of is directly determined by learners’ autonomous learning ability. Therefore, this article discusses relevant theories learning, analyzes on platform, and proposes methods promote...

Virtual learning environments (VLEs) are computer-based online learning environments, which provide opportunities for online learners to learn at the time and location of their choosing, whilst allowing interactions and encounters with other online learners, as well as affording access to a wide range of resources. They have the capability of reaching learners in remote areas around the country...

This study presents a novel model that integrates agent negotiation into constructive learning for enhancing interaction efficiency between learner and instructor and promoting learning motivation. A constraint-based agent negotiation mechanism is employed to support a web-based learning environment in which instructor can perceive learners’ feedback and receive suggestion about pedagogical str...

Modeling the cognitive processes of learners is fundamental to build educational software that are autonomous and that can provide highly tailored assistance during learning [3]. For this purpose, many student models have been developed. However to the best of the authors’ knowledge there is no model for the evaluation and teaching of spatial reasoning. This paper describes how a knowledge repr...

The main objective of transfer learning is to use the knowledge acquired from a source task in order to boost the learning procedure in a target task. Transfer learning comprises a suitable solution for reinforcement learning algorithms, which often require a considerable amount of training time, especially when dealing with complex tasks. This work proposes an autonomous method for transfer le...

Millions of language learners use commercial off-the-shelf computer games as informal learning contexts. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) are rich meaningful vocabulary learning contexts with in-game cultures that encourage creativity, decrease anxiety, force interaction, demand cooperative and autonomous learning, increase motivation, and reward curiosity. This case-st...
